DESIGNJET 100PLUS PRINT QUALITY

My plotter has not been used in about 18 months and now prints about half of the necessary etchings. She acts as if it was out of ink. Bought the new black print cartridge and the same results. Don't know which way to go here. (Note to self-use from time to time to keep everything upward and upward).

This forum focuses on the level of consumer products.  For the Designjet you can have better results, post it in the forum HP Designjet business here.  A series of steps of cleaning head may from the Toolbox Panel can clear the print heads.

  • Designjet T1100: Print multi-passages

    I want to print several layers of ink on top of the other to get the extra contrast on backlit material.  Is it possible to print, and then roll the paper to the starting position and print another job on top of one?  We have a Roland printer at work that has this capability, called "back home", which is just a check box in the print options.  Something similar for Designjet printers?

  • impression of Pro to Z5400 Designjet HP printing problem

    Last October, I bought a Postscript Designjet Z5400 printer. On both CD and software down loaded from the Web site called "HP printing Pro" produces an error on the screen of the printer "Incorrect, impossible to print file Format". This happens with. JPG. PDF and. TIF (any graphic file) files.

    The printer precisely will not respond to the controls of Photoshop CC either. Try to compose a set of 5 "x 7" photos in the upper part of a 36"wide roll of results of paper in the images printed on one side of the paper with massive losses." The problem seems to be that the printer will not allow a page size to create what is shorter than the width of the paper.

    I have been in touch with HP about this and offered a refund, even if I sent my own to the printer, not me Bank evidence. Answers like "It's a HP offer for you, not the finance co" suggests HP trying to me to commit larceny as a custodian... A criminal offence.

    I did not buy this printer for a refund, I bought it for a living with. Twice now, I tried to access the part "next day guarantee support" of the Pack in customer care, I paid an extra $1200 for and not received a response.

    I am able to print to this printer, but not using the software from either HP or Photoshop CC. Any help here as to who speak for the "next day" service, I bought or the highest level of management, I can access complaint with all the terrible service, I was making would be apreciated. I have a video broadcast quality of the mess that occurs when you try to use this printer, but I hesitated to post publicly until a person at HP has actually been and looked at the problem. It's either the printer or the HP software cause.

  • Changing CP1525nw print quality

    I am trying to print patterns of transfer to a piece of wood for carving. This printer is new to us and does not give me the option to select print quality, I want just like our great old P1000.

    It offers a choice of project better or better when you wanted to print something I can't find something like this on our new printer. I make sure I print the darkest possible lines so that I transfer the lines completely.

    The software supplied with this printer offers only "printing shortcuts" and I can't find any place to change the setting of the way it prints.

    Thank you

  • HP Envy 4504: Envy 4504 photo prints too red with print quality = better

    Hello

    I hope someone can help.

    On my HP Envy 4504 photos are printed OK print normal quality, but when the print quality is set to best photos are printed to the red. In addition, with DPI Maximum printing photos are much too red.

    This takes place two times printed on paper Normal and on Photo paper

    With the GIMP, I tried to make an example of how a photoprint looks like.

    I made the example by changing the color Balance: Red cyan - about + 40:

    (my GIMP is Dutch...)

    Here is the result:

    LEFT: Photo printed in normal quality; Photo on the RIGHT printed in better quality:

    I have already completely remove the software HP Envy and did a clean reinstall. No change.

    I have print-head - cleaning cycles (2 times); color of HP-testprint strips looks very good: all are strong in alignment is correct

    Unfortunately: No picture change in best quality still too red.

    The ink levels are okay.

    Any suggestions what is wrong and what can solve this problem?

    Thank you for your support

  • Photosmart HP 7520: Poor print quality Photo

    I made sure to use HP photo paper and the correct HP (#564) ink cartridges, but whenever I try to print a photo it comes out as a negative green accents to orange.  The model of printer Hardware information print quality was perfect, no lines and all the colors were clear.  My black photo cartridge may be low, but it is not ink.  Can someone direct me to a solution?

  • want to 7640: very poor print quality photo

    Photos printed on our 7640 desire come out cloudy even if they were taken with a quality camera and displayed on the computer screen into bright colors. We have installed new ink cartridges and verified that the photo paper is loaded correctly. Are the only parameters that seem to affect the photo printing quality (normal selection or the best gives the same print quality) and "sharpen for printing" (checking and unchecking this box will give the same result). What other options are there to improve the photo print quality?

  • HP deskjet 2540: stop page print quality and 'use printer wireless without router' printing

    After installing the hp deskjet printer 2540, all operating systems (vista, windows, mac os, windows 8) correctly printed.

    I would like to prevent the printing of print quality page whenever the printer is on and to prevent print also the page "use printer wireless without router" (it would be better not to waste the ink).

    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Hi there @lesart55.

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I have seen your post on how your Deskjet 2540 prints a page of print quality every time that the printer is on, and also the page "use printer wireless without router" is printing.

    I'll start with the PQ page that prints at the start of the printer, as it is normally a sign of a hardware problem with the printer.

    Try to update the firmware on the printer. Here is the link to download and run the update using a USB connection to your Vista system: HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware update

    Try a reset of the power to the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

    Press the power button to turn the product on.
    With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    If the PQ page always print after you are done troubleshooting, try the steps outlined in this guide below. I looked at the steps that I see would take place in the tent for your specific problem and chose the steps following, Please do not take account of the actual title.

    An "Incompatible cartridge or"Missing cartridge"Error Message is displayed for HP Deskjet 1510, 2540 Deskjet, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 all-in-One Series Printer"

    I hope that the problem has been cleared up for you at this stage. If this isn't the case, please call us directly to discuss your options of the printer!

  • print quality

    I have HP officejet Pro 8600.  When sending e-mail using eprint.

    (1) how to configure it to send to the printer and print using lower quality (project) in color or B & W?

    (2) is there a possibility to limit the pages # to print?  (incase didn't realize an email or attachment is very long), as a stop-gap protection?

    Thank you!

    Hi there, if you use the ePrint service by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address of printers is not a way to set print quality settings. However if you print from a smartphone or tablet, you can set the quality of the individual print jobs by downloading and using the application mobile ePrint. Here is a link for more information http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/smart-phones-handhelds-calculators/mobile-apps/app_details.html?app=tcm:245 - 1220078 & platform = tcm:245 - 1220080

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All In one print quality

    We have the HP 7280.  It is about 2 years.  So far, we have had no problems with it.  We print with 2 computers separated by a router.  A computer has vista and the other windows 7.  This was not a problem using 2 different operating systems.  We downloaded on 03/13 updates for the printer and install.  We don't use HP ink, but it is of good quality and have not had any problems with the ink in the past.  We changed the cartridges with no result.  Is HP advanced glossy, 4 X 6 photo paper photo paper mil 10.5.  It is about 6-8 months, stored in the box in a desk drawer.  The problem is the impression in the dark pictures.  We have not been able to reduce the print quality.  No idea what this would cause.  The paper is set for this brand and the quality of the paper.  Once more, we used it in the past without problem.  Any ideas?  Please let me know.  Thank you.

    Hello Booberry66,

    What you can try is to find the ink to use settings in the driver. If they are there, not with all the models and are trying to address the use of ink. It's the only thing that you can try.

    It has worked in the past is possible, but still not be sure about that. Sometimes, the problem with ink HP no is that quality is not constant. And it could just be a lot of poor ink. Now I download the driver for this device and I'll post a screenshot of the setting screen, if I can find it.

  • Photosmart more B210a no impression and the poor print quality options

    I have a Mac running osx10.9.4 and a connected wireless, B210a printer all-in-one. Everything works well until a recent update that removed all the printing options (color / gray scale / etc. of paper type and print quality)

    The last thing to print very well were some photos in July. Since then whenever I try to print, the black is so fake and colors too bright - almost as if she always strives to pring on photo paper. When we do a re alignment or own heads, prints in black as it should, but every other time, it is terrible. I am a independent and I occasionally print estimates out to customers... but I can't at the moment.

    My son has the same problem with the same printer of his macbook (unknown model / system information)

    Don't know what to do and don't want not throw everything out the window in a fit of anger... Please help!

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    Sorry to hear about the recent issues with the B210a Photosmart on Mac 10.9.4. The printer will copy without any quality problem?

    I would try the following on the Mac;

    1. Reset the printing on Mac system. (Mac OS x: how to reset the printing system)
    2. Repair disk permissions (ignore the statement about 10.7)
    3. Download and install this: v.2.16.1 for OS X HP printer drivers.
    4. Add the printer using print and scan from system preferences.

    Let me know if this helped.

    I just bought the HP OfficeJet 6700.

    The print output is horrible.

    When I print or copy pictures or whatever it is colored, it prints very pixilated and dark.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Y at - there a solution or is this a bad printer?

    I always had HP printers and loved it... I don't like so far.

    If you are having print quality problems, it could be caused by a number of things.  I suggest trying this document.
